Plausible combinations: An improved method to evaluate the covariate structure of Cormack-Jolly-Seber mark-recapture models
Mark-recapture models are extensively used in quantitative population ecology, providing estimates of population vital rates, such as survival, that are difficult to obtain using other methods. Vital rates are commonly modeled as functions of explanatory covariates, adding considerable flexibility to mark-recapture models, but also increasing the subjectivity and complexity of the modeling proc...
متن کاملJolly-Seber models in MARK
The original Jolly-Seber (JS) model (Jolly, 1965; Seber, 1965) was primarily interested in estimating abundance. Since then, the focus of many mark-recapture experiments changed to estimating survival rates (but not abundance) using the Cormack-Jolly-Seber (CJS)models (Cormack, 1964; Jolly, 1965; Seber, 1965)particularlywith the publication of Lebreton et al. (1992). In previous chapters concer...
متن کاملOpen capture-recapture models with heterogeneity: I. Cormack-Jolly-Seber model.
In open population capture-recapture studies, it is usually assumed that similar animals (e.g., of the same sex and age group) have similar survival rates and capture probabilities. These assumptions are generally perceived to be an oversimplification, and they can lead to incorrect model selection and biased parameter estimates. Allowing for individual variability in survival and capture proba...
متن کاملOpen capture-recapture models with heterogeneity: II. Jolly-Seber model.
Estimation of abundance is important in both open and closed population capture-recapture analysis, but unmodeled heterogeneity of capture probability leads to negative bias in abundance estimates. This article defines and develops a suite of open population capture-recapture models using finite mixtures to model heterogeneity of capture and survival probabilities. Model comparisons and paramet...
متن کاملAn extension of the Cormack-Jolly-Seber model for continuous covariates with application to Microtus pennsylvanicus.
Recent developments in the Cormack-Jolly-Seber (CJS) model for analyzing capture-recapture data have focused on allowing the capture and survival rates to vary between individuals. Several methods have been developed in which capture and survival are functions of auxiliary variables that may be discrete, constant over time, or apply to the population as a whole, but the problem has not been sol...
